  As the lucky owner of one of these amazing decanters (Carafe #4), let us tell you that it is fabulous piece of useable art. It does indeed look like blood in the coronary arteries, which is why we bought it-we're both physicians. And yes, red wine is good for your coronary arteries. Cleaning it is actually simple, just be careful not to bang it against the sink and don't let the wine dry inside. After dinner, we just rinse it out and hang it upside down to dry. As for insufficient surface area (mentioned by some critics) this is made up for by the increased aeration that occurs as you fill the decanter. Also, once the wine is below the first neck, the combined surface area of the remaining trunks is ample. So, we will drink to everyone's health, and defend the artist. This decanter is amazing in every way. We have even taken it to restaurants to have wine poured into it for our pleasure and other diners always come over and tell us it pleases them as well.

  Yeah, I thought decanters were intended to give the wine a large surface area to breathe from. This does nothing more than aerate the wine as its being poured. And Phillipe is right..how the heck do you clean it?! One time use I guess. Another example of cool, but useless and poorly thought out, design.

  Beautiful, but I would manage to break that in 20 minutes tops.

  It looks like this decanter is made to aerate wine while filling the decanter instead of the traditional evaporation method. I like the regular versions better. Doesn't look like you can swirl this one real well. I suppose you only need to stick your egg beater down in there if you're Kermit Lynch.

  Beautiful, but isn't the point of decanting to open the wine up to the air?
